On Friday evening I had washed my running shoes and left them for drying.
The treadmill was bought on 8th Oct (Saturday) and was delivered home at 2.30 p.m.. Since my running shoes were still wet I had to wear my black-leather shoes to jog on the treadmill. …

Libra (September 23 - October 23)
This is the time for buying books and getting more education. Working-men will show a keen interest in current education. Especially the book titled ‘Laws of Electricity’. As for the ladies…don’t worry you will continue to show interest in another book – your honey’s cheque book.

Girls always put on weight after marriage. Men lose flab if they take lunch to office…or gain weight if they eat out during lunch breaks.
The issue compounds when both the husband and wife work in IT companies where, even if one doesn’t have work one is forced to hang on till 7 p.m. and leave after the boss’s car rolls out of the entrance.
